Dishing it Out
A mug of hot broth with a kick
Mary scooped a handful
of gunk out of the waste disposal – onion skin, flaccid black lettuce, strings
of carrot peel and a melded mush of cornflakes, all bound together with bluish
mozzarella.
A
bit like John's eyes.
The blob sat heavy, like an overfed toad, in the palm of
her Marigold and it
was with a significant
amount of force that she bowled it into the pan.
Thwack!
Having
rubbed a potato around the toilet bowl, she chopped and added it,
then tipped in the
water from the dying carnations.
Cheap.
Just like Kiera.
John
enjoyed his soup that evening.
